Mr. President, I wish to thank Senator Barrasso and Senator Carper for their bipartisan work to get this nomination to the floor. I have known R.D. James for a long time. He understands the projects involved, the work involved, and the challenges involved. He is a civil engineer and brings a lot of experience to this job. The work of Senator Carper and Senator Barrasso is deeply appreciated. I think it will be appreciated by the Corps and the Department of Defense. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.
